Once again: there is zero valid reason to put a data center in space. In addition to the launch costs and inability to service them, you need significant cooling infrastructure. The only reason to do this is a) you are an idiot, or b) you are grifting money from idiots.

Yes. "The things that make us happy make us wise," says John Crowley in support.
Do one of the things that makes you feel better, because if you aren't doing any of that, you will run down. Today I did some writing. I'm a writer, & if I don't write, I run down. It's very easy for me to forget this, despite decades of knowing it. And so I am here to remind you to do your things.

I'm so happy to share this paper. It's about the workings of trial and error in everyday food life. Examining trial and error as a generative practice helps us understand how people adapt and improvise over time, continually creating new information and knowledge.

Today is Polish filmmaker Zbigniew Rybczyński's 77th birthday. He is probably most famous for creating the iconic music video for Art of Noise's "Close (to the Edit)" - still a truly bizarre and influential music video. 🧵

Canada's sans nom/no name line, designed by Don Watt (1936–2009) for Loblaws, originally launched in March 1978.
Like the similar Swedish co-op line Blåvitt (tested in '75, launched in January '79), it was like inspired by Jacques Séguéla's 1976 « produits libres » line for Carrefour.
